Violin - Tuning
Violins are tuned by turning the pegs, or by winding the fine tuner screws, if present, at the tailpiece. Fine tuners permit the tension of the string to be adjusted in very small increments more easily than by using the pegs, and are usually recommended for beginners or those using metal strings. Experienced players commonly use one on the E-string even if the other strings are not so equipped.
The A string is first tuned to a standard pitch such as 440 Hz or to another instrument. (When playing with a fixed-pitch instrument such as a piano or accordion, the violin must tune to accommmodate it.) The other strings are then tuned to the A in intervals of perfect fifths by bowing them in pairs. After tuning, one should make a habit of checking that the bridge is standing straight and centered between the inner nicks of the f holes, since bridges are free to move about, being held in place only by friction and the tension of the strings.
The tuning G-D-A-E is used for the great majority of all violin music. However, any number of other tunings are occasionally employed (for example, tuning the G string up to A), both in classical music, where the technique is known as scordatura, and in some folk styles where it is called "cross-tuning."
